The gallant act of Lieutenant James Watts, C.M G.

Private Watts was immediately promoted to a Lieutenancy in the Corps in rec' guition of this brave deed, and his Majesty has since been pleased to confer on him the Company ship of the Order of St Michael and St. George.

When Tientsin was relieved on the 23rd June, the opposite side of the river in front of

the position held by the T.V.C. was occupied in force by our Russian allies, aut on the 3rd July the Corps at its own request was temporarily relieved from duty by Captain Bayly on the understanding that it would be called out again if necessary as there was not then such pressing need for his services, and indeed new work would have had to be found for it else where in addition to which many of the mem- bers had urgent calls made on them from their business and homes which they had forsaken a a moment's notice on the call to arms.

everal days later, by which time some of the Blue Jackets and Marines had also been inte Captain Burke, R.N. (then 3rd in relieved and sent back to their ships, the

command of the British force) asked me one afternoon if I could mount a guard that night on the temporaly magazine he had established underneath Messrs. Hall & Holtz premises, when I explained that the Corps having been relieved from duty I-should in the absence of any "General Alarm” expe ience considerable difficulty in getting sufficient men together for the work, but that I would see what could be done and report to him later on.

Coastwise. In spite of no settlement having been arrived at yet between the native mer- chants and the regular liners with regard to the Wuhu to Canton rice trade, all the tonnage on the coast seems busily employed and rates are firm; several boats have been taken up on time-charter and it seems quite impossible at the moment to fill the various demands that exist for trip charters in all directions.

By dint of asking those members I met to fall in at a certain time and place, I managed lu muster a few of the Corps; but being of opinion that there were not sufficient to perform the duty in a thorough manner, dismissed them, and reported accordingly to Captain The duty in question was nevertheless per Burke where I imagized the mater ended. formed by the Tientsin Volunteers my order to the contrary, having miscarried; Corporul W.

In conclusion, let me say that during the siege of Tientsin the Tientsin Volunteer Corps performed the same work as the rest of

TO THE RATEPAYEKS WHO ARE ELI

GIBLE TO VOTE AT THE FORTH- .. COMING SANITARY BOARD

ELECTION.

GENTLEM›N:-At the request.of a very in. fluential section of our community come forward and am prepared to stand for election as a member of the Sanitary Board.

I was born in the Colony about 40 years ago, was educated at the Government Central School now known as the Queen's College, 'and in 1882 cained the Morrison Scholarship, then the only scholarship awarded, my com. pelitors being no Chinese boys and the principal subjects, translations from. English into Chinese and vice versa.

During the past 15 years I have followed my present occupation, that of Land and Com mission Agent,

This calling has given me many opportar nities of studying house-construction and the laws of Sanitation. I have at all times taken a

great interest in the innumerable measures which have been brought forward, relating to our Sanitary condition.

I was one of the signatories to the Petition. sent to the Secretary of State, praying for the appointment of a Commission to inquire into the sanitary state of this Colony. And, with many others, I was greatly surprised and disappointed when I read the measures, contained in the Draft Bill, recommended by the Experts from Home, which accompanied their conjoint report.

On the appearance of this Draft Bill in the Government Gazette, I believe, I was the first to criticise through the medium of the press the recommendations made.

From that time onward I have contributed many articles dealing with the various sections of the Bill, which, after numerous amendments, has now passed into law.

When the Bill was before the Council in the first stage, I was requested to assist the Com- mitteo the Chinese Commercial Union in their efforts to point out the objectionable clauses in the Bill, and a Petition was sent to the Government paying for amendment.

The present Public Health and Buildings Ordinance is in part the result of our labours; ad, in my opinion no better Ordinance, under the circumstances, could have been enacted,

It is always easy to make suggestions but sometimes very difficult to carry them out.

As in this Colony three-fourths of our inha bitants are composed of the lower class of Chinese, surrounded by conditions of a very exceptional character, owing to their habits of life, 1 can plainly see that the principal factors successful sanitary administration, are firmness, kindness, great tact and the enlist ment of public sympathy.

to

As I have stated above, this is my native place and my home. All my interests are centred here and are likely to remain so until the end of my days.

I am a self-made man, and believe I enjoy to no inconsiderable extent the confidence of most of the leading Chinese landowners in this Colony. Should I be elected, dependent as ! am entirely on the prosperity of this place, ! shall devote all the time which the responsibili ties of my office may demand, foi I fully appre- ciate the importance of those responsibilities.

The health of this Colony constitutes the Foundation of its wealth and I will do my utmost to assist in strengthening that founda tica.

Yours faithfully,
